ITV4 now showing FTA on EPG 120.

We recorded some of the recent Baseball World Series (started after midnight) and was asked for a PIN when replaying by Sky + !! Didn't notice the horror or rude bits though :)

We've had a few recording failing recently. The last 2 were on Playhouse Disney, and they failed with Reason Code 9. Anyone know what fault this is? TIA, Bobby

After a search of Astra2 I found 6 satellite channels broadcasting Channel4. Are there any differences in these, and why so many?

Both Horror channel and sometimes TCM are suddenly asking for a PIN number intermittently. Does anybody have any idea why and if it is now suddenly necessary, what PIN number is it asking for? Thanks in anticipation.

I have just bought a One For All URC8910 Universal Remote Control and am trying to find a code to control my Pace BSkyB 2200 Sky Digibox. According to the FAQ the One-For-All device code for all Sky Digiboxes is "0847", however my remote reads 'Unfound' when I enter this code. I have looked...

Sky Three is currently FTV. If this lasts then coupled with ITV's move to FTA this is quite a sea-change in UK sat broadcasting. -- Digibox problem? : A reboot solves 90% of these. The Sky Digital FAQ: http://tinyurl.com/7rm2m UK TV overseas: http://tinyurl.com/6p73 BBC reception questions? ;...

Without the sky+ sub, what can the sky+ box do? Still record (not from TV guide)? Pause live TV? Manually program to record progs? or will it revert to just a view box? -- Dewi,

Hi I have had problem in the last few weeks with the following 1) recordings fail 2) recording stop half way through playback 3) Live pause doesnt work

HI all Have just had my 5th Sky+ box in 18months installed and it has the old software installed. Have tried following the FAQ suggestion to force an update but it hasn't worked. Anyone have any other tips on how to get the update as I quite liked being able to get rid of the red dots...

Hi Almost every BBC 1 program we record on a 2nd version Pace Sky+ seems to start early and finish early, meaning we lose the end of it. I've adjusted for time either way, but it's still the same. Every other channel seems OK so it must be BBC, but I haven't heard of anyone else with this...

Have'nt seen it posted here and quite a few F1 Fans awaiting the start of the new series :-) Strange though, Motors TV is showing Qualifying today (5.00pm) and the race tomorrow but the BBC is only showing the race? (Sunday 3.00pm) Great to see Nigel and Murray Walker back too..... Could be...

This American guy is simply awful, he can't read the autocue fluently and is so dull to listen to, how on earth did he get this job ?!

Just for the record its now 933 and Have I Got News for You still hasnt started. Cant the BBC afford a clock? -- Tumbleweed email replies not necessary but to contact use; tumbleweednews at hotmail dot com

Can anyone tell me the frequencies for ITV4, the box hasn't picked it up and I really wanna see the Chelsea game tonight (incidentally I've done a full reset) Cheers

hi anyone else think the "new look" sky news is crap? the unfinished airport departure lounge with vomit inducing scrolling sky, weather map even worse than the bbc's, presenters wandering around evidently looking for something to sit on and to cap it all - eamon "smug git" holmes!! i though i'd...

OK, I've just cancelled all my sky subs apart from Sky+ £10 per month. So I can see all the freeview stuff, but looking on the sky website, looks like I can't get some of the channels, like FTN for instance. Is this the case? What channels should I be able to get, and is the list on Sky...

A few weeks ago my Sky+ started doing something new. Although I had made no changes in the Parental Control section, films recorded at night suddenly began to require my PIN number to be viewed during the day, which is a bit of a nuisance. I have tried cleaning out the Sky Planner by doing a full...
